It's designed for road and gravel cyclists who want high-quality ride footage, automatic incident recording, and a powerful front light, all controlled seamlessly from a paired \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/computers-gps\"\u003eGarmin Edge computer\u003c\/a\u003e or the Varia app. A microSD card (up to 512GB, sold separately) is required for video recording.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe camera records in \u003cstrong\u003e4Kp30, 1440p30, 1080p60, and 1080p30\u003c\/strong\u003e with \u003cstrong\u003eElectronic Image Stabilisation (EIS)\u003c\/strong\u003e for smooth, steady footage even on rough road surfaces. \u003cstrong\u003eGPS speed and location data is embedded directly into the video\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving you a complete record of where you were and how fast you were going at every moment — invaluable for incident documentation or simply reviewing your rides. Like the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/garmin-rear-light-varia-rct715-p135467\"\u003eVaria RCT715\u003c\/a\u003e at the rear, the Vue automatically locks footage when an impact is detected via the built-in accelerometer, ensuring critical moments are always preserved. Vault video storage is also supported for cloud backup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe integrated headlight delivers \u003cstrong\u003evisibility up to 1.6km\u003c\/strong\u003e with multiple modes — high, medium, low, night flash, and day flash — and automatically adjusts brightness based on ambient light and speed when paired with a compatible Garmin Edge. Battery life ranges from \u003cstrong\u003e1.25 hours at 4K on high\u003c\/strong\u003e through to \u003cstrong\u003e7 hours at 1080p in day flash mode\u003c\/strong\u003e, and up to \u003cstrong\u003e9 hours camera-only at 1080p30\u003c\/strong\u003e.
